When you go in to have blood drawn, is easy for the lab tech to find a vein?

Apparently not for me, as the lab tech had to switch arms yesterday because she had trouble locating a vein in my right arm yesterday. I have had lab techs say my vein rolled on them.

They have no trouble finding my veins, but Jorge goes through that problem all the time.
My problem is my tolerance for the needle and I’m always severely bruised afterwards:

Usually there are no problems. Once in a while they have trouble. I just don't like it

Definitely not easy! That is why I recently got a medi-port for this round of chemo.

I've never had a problem but Dh has problems. Yesterday was a bad day for him. He had a new nurse try several times and couldn't find a vein and then an experienced nurse had trouble finding one. Poor thing must have got stuck around 8-10 times before they found a vein.
